We all have a story.
What's yours?
For almost a decade, I've been teaching non-fiction at Grub Street Creative Writing Center in Boston. I’ve taught everything from three-hour seminars to multi-week courses including Writing to Heal; 6 Weeks, 6 Essays; 6 Weeks, 6 Op-Eds; 5 Weeks, 5 Senses; and Writing Home. With the exception of 6 Weeks, 6 Essays, I have pitched and designed these courses; some have become core Grub Street curriculum. Throughout the year, I run remote Introduction to Writing to Heal seminars, four-and-six-week Writing to Heal I classes, and other non-fiction classes. Check out my upcoming classes!
The Writing to Heal Program
After several years teaching Introduction to Writing to Heal, Writing to Heal I, Writing to Heal II, and Advanced Writing to Heal as separate classes, I realized that my Grub Street students were craving a long-form program with a continuous community, so the Writing to Heal Immersive Program was born. This application-based remote program is designed to give students a deep dive into how the writing process can serve as a healing tool for adversity. The program runs from September to May.
Creating a New Normal
When You Can't Go Back
Are you living with long-haul illness or struggling to find your footing after a life setback? Join a special founding cohort in Write Your Life: Creating a New Normal When You Can't Go Back, a four-week remote class to help people create meaningful new lives in the context of change. We'll use guided reflection, practical exercises, and supportive conversation to move from focusing on what illness or adversity has taken away toward identifying what you need, what still matters, and what's possible.
Thursdays 10/22 - 11/12/26
12:00 - 1:15 PM ET
